Irish Celtic Jewels Blog

I know it’s a little early to be talking about Christmas, but as you may know, each piece of jewelry on Irish Celtic Jewels is specially made to order and can take up to three weeks to be manufactured.

Depending on what shipping method you choose, shipping can take anywhere from overnight (Fedex) to 14 days for delivery (Registered Post). Please note, that shipping time does NOT include manufacturing time.

With all this in mind, if you’re planning on purchasing a Celtic jewelry item as a Christmas gift, I recommend placing the order by Wednesday, December 2nd. You can still order after this date, and have it delivered for Christmas, but if you’re in any doubt about delivery for Christmas, please email me at leighm@irishcelticjewels.com, anytime.
